Shedding My Body

 By Bud Lemire

I'm shedding my skin, I'm shedding my body
I'm going to a place, where I won't need the potty
It's a place, where we are made of light and energy
In this wonderful place, you will know the real me
It's more than you can imagine, in this special place
It's the home of each soul, of the human race
You can be, in more than one place at a time
If you were sick as a human, here, you're at your prime

There's so much you can do, and that you can be
So much you can learn, so much you can see
Leave your anger here, it's not needed there
Your senses will be busy, you'll be fully aware
The colors there, are the best you'll ever see
Take it all in, because that is the key
The music there, is the best you will hear
It'll spark all your senses, without having an ear

You may not remember, but you've been here before
Then you went to Earth, you wanted to learn more
So you became human, inside was your soul
To learn all you could, that was your goal
When your time was finished, your life was all done
You shed your body, and returned to your loved one

The human body was not meant to last forever
as you know. But the soul lives on for an eternity
. The lessons and what you have learned to value,
return with you. The place you started from.
You are Home once again. You find out so much.
You're reunited with all those who went Home in
your lifetime. It's quite amazing when you think
about it..
